  • User jus7aguy (Score: 4/10):
    I understand this is supposed to be parody of a sort. But it still made my brain hurt with how badly this was done. The anime was normal the voice acting was fine, the music and sound was actually quite good, but the SHOW was just .. bad. I sort of vaguely understand what they were going for with this, but even with that you need some sort of decent structure to hold it all together, This watches like it was some grade-schoolers actually took some LSD and used it to fuel a fantasy trip written the night before for a literature assignment, then some stoned outcollege kid used it as a script for his film assignment.
